Hi all
Well, here it is, a list of generic health problems that are often considered to be LTCs. Each of these groups are made up of a number of diseases, and I have included some examples:
Autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, coeliac disease, IBD, and multiple sclerosis; Cancer and the effects of its treatment; Cardiac conditions such as angina or heart failure; Endocrine disorders including diabetes, osteoporosis, and thyroid conditions; Hepatic diseases, which are those affecting the liver; Mental health conditions, for example schizophrenia; Neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, stroke, traumatic head injury, and spinal cord disorders; Renal conditions, which are disorders of the kidneys; Respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD (which itself covers a number of diseases); and Rheumatic diseases such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and gout.
This is not a comprehensive list (it's not even once over lightly really) and I will have missed a number of common ones. The key take-away is that an LTC is a condition that does not currently have a cure. Tomorrow I will touch on why some conditions appeared in this list more than once.

Take care everyone
Gavin
